Is the wing too big?

I am thinking about buying this 2001 with 25K but cant decide of the wing is too much. The dealer claims it is a porsche part that was added latter. Any thoughts?

never seen that in the techequipment, dont like it, just my opinion

Looks like a Misha (or original?) GT2 wing http://content3.us.porsche.com/prod/...usaenglish/gt2 And I think it looks damn cool on any 911. Way better than the taco wing

looks to big looks as if it belongs on a widebody (ie gt2, tt, c4s). Also color looks off a bit maybe me. My .02 fwiw. However like most things if you want it, and look at it long enough it starts to look ok. Beauty is in the eye of the buyer.

it'd be right at home in LA.

It would not be at home in Germany, agree do not like the wing but if the price and the car are right for you, you can always change it out.

It's too big. A GT2 wing is plain ugly on a narrow body 996 whether it's a coup or a cab.

Mark - when did you sell your Cab?

Not at all.... if you're planning to fly it to Barcelona

Great looking car ... except for that wing, my $.02.

The wing looks fine, but it is not a Porsche part. Looks like a Misha GT2/GT3 wing.

Maybe its the angle of the picture but the wings looks to have a darker shade of silver

I think it looks OK...I'd consider buying it from you for kicks and giggles if you wanted to sell and buy a stock deck. My car is also seal grey.

No, that looks stupid. I'm not a big fan of wings or aerokits on a cab. The cab looks better when it's kept to a simple, clean look. -Charles

I went thru the wing decision earlier this year, to me, the only one that look right on a cab is the t-equiment carrera wing....thats what I ended up putting on....

wlee.....very nicely done

Yes, too much.

Personnally I don't like most of the mismatched aerokit combinations, so while I don't find the wing itself bad, I don't like the combination. However as others have said, beauty is in truly in the eye of the beholder/buyer.

Not for that car.

Way to much wing for a cabriolet.

I have to agree with a post here on the overall balance and execution of the mods in this car... seems they did not complete the mods... missing a front GT3 or GT2 bumper to complete the looks that they were going for... Something to worry about is the dealer trying to pass this as a factory part... does not look like a factory GT2 wing. I would pass unless it is the look that YOU want.... I would look for another car... maybe what they are asking for this car with that wing will get you into an '02... better buy imho...

Which are the wide body models? Is the C4 wide body?

No the C4 is not a wide body the C4S is.

747... would look good on that model!

This is kind of like when your wife asks, "Does my *** look too big in these pants?" You really want to say "Hell, YES!" but you have learned over the years that, in some instances, honesty is NOT the best policy! But since you are not my wife, then "Hell, YES, that wing is too big for a Cab!" On the other hand, Wlee69 , your *** looks good in those pants... er... wait... I meant... that wing looks good on your Cab!

Hi Tim, Right around the end of August. It went to a good home though! -Mark

YES!

I disagree - I see a ton of P-Cars every day, and that wing is not commonplace, even in Los Angeles. My vote is "too big".

Air Traffic, this is MA Niner One One, taxiing for takeoff on runway Tango Four Four....

Edward, I nearly spit my coffee out! GOOD ONE

Hey Dell, BTW, how many cups of coffee are needed to offset the effects of one martini?

whether you like it or not, use it to reduce the price. How long has the car been on the lot? find out how much it would cost to put the stock lid back on and use that number.

That's the misha wing(oem my ***), easy to change out, look hideous on a cab, total aerodynamic mismatch.

Even though I think the wing is too big, I'd still purchase the car if everything else checked out and the price is right.

Ok, Ok, the consensus of opinion seems to be a wing this big doesnt go on a c2 cab. The same dealership just got in this 03 with an interior I like better. My question is this. What changes have taken place from 01 to 03? Glass rear window? Slightly larger engine? The front end looks slightly different. Any other changes of note? Thanks for your help to a newbie

Here is the other option I am including a pic of the winged car for those following at home.

Would you like some Porsche with your wing?

Trust me on this one, but get in the habit of doing a search on the forum before asking questions...especially when the topic has been discussed ad nauseum since 2002 (the year of the update). It'll save you a lot of hassle down the road. But, yes, you hit all the relatively more important changes. A search will reveal the detailed listing of everything Porsche changed so that you can see if it warrants the price increase. Of course, everyone here will tell you to buy the newest car you can afford.

What's the mileage, options, etc on the 2003? Does it come with CPO? How much is he asking?
